Exactly. Loop mount the first ISO files and CD to the mount point then do: cp -av * ../xxx. Repeat for the second ISO file. xxx then becomes your installation source. You should update yast2-online-update, yast2-ncurses, and yest2-packagemanager before doing the system update or patch CD update,
When you are done with copying the ISOs do an ls on xxx you should see media1 and media2 files. YaST2 doesn't support switching the media for a service pack. This is what SUSE recommends. Do you mean to mount loop back and then copy the contents of CD1 and CD2 into a new subdirectory 'xxx' and use 'xxx' as the new source location ? TIA ...... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill replied: You need to copy the first two CDs into a common directory and use that as your installation source. The third CD is only source files and is not needed to apply the service pack. I have an existing SLES9 SP1 and trying to install the SP2 update. I down loaded the three ISO files from the SuSE Portal. All checked out ok with MD5SUM. I then uploaded them to a SLES8 system that we use as a software repository. Umounted that filesystem and mounted to the SLES9 that we want to install SP2 on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Regards, Terry L.
